Legend of the Great Sage - Chapter 1730
[Chapter 75: Not dyed]
Li Liehuo and Chao Tianjiao also listened attentively.
The old man of Tianshu pondered for a moment, waved his sleeves, and said:
“The ‘True Immortal’ means ‘refining the gods and returning to the void’. There is no need to elaborate on this point. The so-called ‘returning to the void’ means turning reality into emptiness, turning existence into nothingness, and becoming the spokesperson of the great road.”
“It doesn’t sound like there’s anything wrong. Please give me some advice.”
Li Qingshan cupped his hand, and his hostility disappeared, becoming more respectful.
Now it seems that the old man from the Heavenly Book has nothing to do with him. Instead, he told him many secrets and even gave him the Heavenly Book of All Things.
But he dismantled his sect and killed many of his disciples. Although the old man Tianshu didn’t seem to care much, he was always somewhat unreasonable.
Moreover, the “Five Ultimate Immortals” still have a bit of an idol aura in his heart.
The old man of Tianshu sighed: “Alas, the world only thinks that gods are good! However, the great road is so grand! The human heart is so small! People in my generation have to use the human heart to control the great road, which is as dangerous as a three-year-old child controlling a tiger. Over time, , I don’t know who is controlling whom.”
Li Qingshan immediately understood that there is a way that “man can conquer nature”. The way is ignorant and unconscious, so it will be driven by people’s hearts. However, “drops of water can penetrate a stone”, even if it is a very small impact, it will eventually leave an indelible mark as time goes by.
Every disagreement between the human heart and the Dao requires the firmness of the human heart, and the Dao is never tired.
This is called “Destiny wins over man”.
He practiced “Nine Transformations of Gods and Demons” and could best understand the influence of the road on the human heart. Even without the existence of Yuanshi Qilin, the natural way would profoundly affect his mind and wear away his heart.
And once the human heart is worn away…
Old Man Tianshu turned to Li Liehuo and asked:
“Fire Disciple, what if your flame never burns the things you want to burn, but only burns the things that should be burned?”
Li Liehuo imagined the scene and said with horror: “Then… Li Liehuo will no longer exist.”
If every word and deed of a person conforms to the laws of the Great Dao, if the wind blows when it should blow, and it rains when it rains, not a penny more, but not an inch less, then this person will be considered alive in the eyes of others. It is no different from death.
Li Qingshan said: “If there is no joy, anger, love and hate, people will become puppets of the great road.”
Yuanshi Qilin did not completely follow the way of nature and chose to help Nuwa. Although he fell because of this, it was also a manifestation of his own will. Proving that it is a living thing, not a dead thing.
“Master, what can we do? I think all the immortals in the sky are normal. No one will be reincarnated again and again.”
Chao Tianjiao asked hurriedly, with the support of Emperor Zhenwu, she has a good chance of becoming a true immortal.
“There are two methods. One is to ‘Refining the Void and Combining the Dao’, completely aligning one’s own will with the Dao and eliminating mutual opposition. If a three-year-old child can connect with the tiger’s mind without distinguishing each other, he can drive the tiger at will. only……”
The old man Tianshu suddenly stopped talking.
“Just what?” Li Qingshan seemed aware.
The old man of Tianshu sighed and said nothing.
“Master, what else can I do?” Chao Tianjiao asked. Her Zhenwu Dao is the authority of the Zhenwu Emperor, and it is absolutely impossible to “refining the void and combining the Dao”.
“This method is much simpler…” Old Man Tianshu looked at Li Qingshan again.
Li Qingshan took over and said: “Since one person’s heart is not enough to control the great road, then just gather the hearts of everyone and let the Emperor of Heaven grant you a god.”
He has already realized this. After swallowing the power of faith of the demon people, the influence of Yuanshi Qilin has been greatly weakened. After all, how can thousands of hearts be united?
If you can’t resist wear and tear, then grow yourself. If you can’t control the tiger, then feed the tiger.
Chao Tianjiao immediately felt relieved. If she could survive the “refining the gods and returning to the void”, it would not be difficult to become a god.
In fact, as long as she wants to, she can now erect many statues of gods. There are countless temples of Emperor Zhenwu in the world. As the head of the Six Dings, she can naturally enjoy them and accept the incense and worship of all living beings.
However, as we all know, there is only one way to practice, but the hearts of all living beings are extremely complex. It is not a good thing to be too deeply affected by the power of faith.
Chao Tianjiao said in his heart: “No wonder all the true immortals in the sky have more or less followers. I thought they had the intention to help the world and did not want to completely transcend the mortal world. It turns out that they have such a wonderful effect. It is really useless. It’s too early to get up!”
“Master, isn’t this called ‘fighting fire with fire’?”
The old man of Tianshu smiled: “You can’t say that. But when you become a true immortal, you must not be like this little brother and directly use the power of faith as your foundation.”
He sighed in his heart. He had been walking in the sky for many years and witnessed the changes of all the immortal friends. Just by gathering the power of faith, he was already deeply affected.
It is probably unprecedented for people like Li Qingshan to directly consume the power of faith to practice. Even the golden immortals of Buddhism who are extremely loyal believers will never do this. No one can imagine what Li Qingshan will eventually become.
“Then why don’t you use this method and reincarnate again and again?” Li Qingshan actually already roughly knew the answer to the question.
“In the classics you presented at Tianshulou, there is this sentence: How can it be covered with the dust of the world with the whiteness of Hao Hao?”
At that time, Li Qingshan first entered the Wanxiang Sect. In order to quickly accumulate merits, he copied all the books he could, including this article – “Chu Ci Fisherman”, and the owner of this article finally chose to join the river.
Chao Tianjiao was shocked and looked up. He saw that this master, who seemed not to be serious and had always been a wild man, would rather reincarnate than accept any belief.
Old Man Tianshu looked deeply at Li Qingshan: “I don’t understand this kind of state of mind!”
Li Qingshan was speechless.
The old man of Tianshu said: “All living beings will make you too human-like, and the Great Dao will make you too unlike human. I only want to be between the two.”
Li Liehuo asked: “Master, why don’t you continue to practice, ‘refining the void and combining the Tao’?”
The old man of Tianshu pointed to heaven: “What I am walking on is the path of the Emperor of Heaven.”
There is already a monarch in Da Dao, so he can only be a subject.
“Master, why don’t you change the path? As long as you avoid the path of the Emperor of Heaven, wouldn’t you be able to ‘refining the void and combining the Tao’?”
Chao Tianjiao said in confusion. She has no choice, and she has not reached this point. And the old man Tianshu has been reincarnated, so there is no way he can choose.
The old man of Tianshu pretended to be angry and said: “Huangkou boy, it’s easy to say! You think that the Dao is raised by my family, and you can combine it with the Dao if you want. From the beginning of all things to the present, there have been countless living beings living here, who can ‘refining the void’ There are only a dozen or so people who have followed the Way, and there are probably no less than a hundred true immortals who have fallen because of this. Do you want to die for your master?”
Chao Tianjiao curled his lips, the master really had no ambition.
The old man of Tianshu narrowly blinked his eyes: “And in this case, my master will not be reincarnated!”
